Fire At Harlan Co. Recreation Area.

Campers were evacuated from camping areas at Harlan County recreation area when a fire broke out there Friday. .  A baler pulled by a tractor apparently ignited the fire in a field adjacent to the camping area. campers were told to evacuate immediately.   Fire departments were called in from Republican City, and Franklin to help fight the blaze.  The tractor and baler were a total loss.  But the fire was contained shortly by the multitude of volunteer firemen who arrived to help with the blaze. .
